'Conversations with Kelli leave my head spinning with thoughts and possibilities. She approaches life with expertise, passion, and honesty. This book is no exception. My understanding of neurodiversity used to be limited in the past, but now I feel more confident and competent. I'm eager to apply these concepts and exercises in my work to best serve neurodiverse couples'
Rachelle Colegrove, MA, CST, Co-Founder of The Fun Marriage Workshop'Kelli adds an important, missing piece to the field of relationship therapy and mental health care in general. One size does not fit all in relationships, and this text provides a solid foundation for mental health professionals wanting to better serve our many neurodivergent clients.'
Dana Frederick, MA, LPC, LMFT'Embracing the emerging mind is our task and our delight. Kelli's exploration of what we know now shows us ways to open to the wonder of our mind. Relying on personal and professional experience, Kelli gives the helper in all of us a glimpse of unity through our many differences.'
